Last Respects Author:Catherine Aird Detective Inspector C. D. Sloan, called in when a Calleshire fisherman finds a body in his nets--dead, but not from drowning--follows a trail that leads to a two-hundred-year old shipwreck, a precious cargo, and another body.
first published in 1982, I reread this book in 2006 and thought it had worn well. A light, clever plot, entertaining characters on the English rural coast.
